Abstract

A learning method of a remote controller applicable in an electric appliance is disclosed including the following steps: providing a plurality of built-in key codes in a controlled end of an electric appliance; providing users with an operation interface through which users send a specific key code from a new infrared remote controller, and the controlled end displaying the operation interface on a display screen when the specific key code can be identified by the controlled end; users transmitting key codes of the new controller to the controlled end one by one; the controlled end saving the key codes received in its memory device; and the controlled end receiving and saving all the key codes of the new remote controller such that the appliance can be controlled by the new remote controller.

Claims (13)

1 . A learning method of a remote controller applicable in an electric appliance, comprising the following steps:

providing a plurality of built-in key codes in a controlled end of an electric appliance;

providing users with an operation interface through which users send a specific key code from a new infrared remote controller, and the controlled end displaying the operation interface on a display screen when the specific key code can be identified by the controlled end;

users transmitting key codes of the new controller to the controlled end one by one;

the controlled end saving the key codes received in its memory device; and

the controlled end receiving and saving all the key codes of the new remote controller such that the appliance can be controlled by the new remote controller.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electric appliance is a TV, a digital audio/video player, or a digital set top box.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the storage device is an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), flash memory, or other memory.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the operation interface can display a remote controller on the display screen and the remote controller is provided with keys of Mute, Power, Swap, Set, Menu, 0 ˜ 9 number, and up, down, left, and right.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific key code is the Power key or other combination of keys.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is a TV screen or a built-in screen of a digital audio/video player.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when transmitting the key codes of the new controller to the controlled end one by one, users can use the conventional keys on the operation interface to conduct “jump” or “escape” during the process.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when users transmit the key codes of the new controller to the controlled end one by one, the display screen will further display a dialog box, which includes “input XX key”, “confirm XX key,” and “input completd,” to serve as a guide for users.
